Hi Richard,

Creating the 3.3V is no problem but should it only go to the spare pin
> on the power connector or also go to the 18F4550 so selectable 5V or
> 3.3V power on the 18f4550 ?


Yes, let's put 3.3V on the spare pin of power connector (I think it's where
it was originally designed to). As for powering 18F4550, I guess 5V is
enough. I have a LF version which can go far lower than 3.3V, but it's
another topic and quite advanced feature.

Is it complicated to do this ? Does it worth it ? Can it be postpone on a
next version without much changes if it becomes very important ? And maybe
some serial connectors can use 3.3V. too I guess there are many options we
can't cover. For now, we can stay on 3.3V on spare pin, for shields, and let
the PIC be powered with 5V

Yes, but probably my eyes weren't so close to my orbits...
